Town Agenda

gathering and bruising typhoon rain
purrs the pain 
jumping off the tracks blind locomotive train
wreck to maime
blooding noses quicker than white caine 
ignorance pickled conductors always feign 
with hands stained red from another man's ration of grain
predictable as the charted tides of Maine
mismatching words and actions lead the cause of insane 
intent should be printed clear and plain
